0.75 g/mL
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of density, which is defined as mass per unit volume. The formula for density is \( \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} \).
Convert the mass from kilograms to grams, since density is typically expressed in grams per milliliter. Use the conversion factor: \( 1 \text{ kg} = 1000 \text{ g} \). Therefore, \( 1.0 \text{ kg} = 1000 \text{ g} \).
Identify the volume given in the problem, which is \( 1500.0 \text{ mL} \).
Substitute the mass and volume values into the density formula: \( \text{Density} = \frac{1000 \text{ g}}{1500.0 \text{ mL}} \).
Perform the division to find the density in \( \text{g/mL} \). This will give you the numerical value of the density, which you can compare to the provided options.
